Director of MEP Engineering - Remote (US)

Director of MEP Engineering - Remote (US)
One of our more prominent engineering clients is appointing a Director of MEP Engineering to lead and scale its building services practice nationally. This is a genuinely remote leadership seat: you will own the technical direction, delivery quality and commercial performance of the MEP group, working with project teams and clients across multiple states.
The firm has a strong pipeline across healthcare, mission-critical/data centers, higher education, commercial and mixed-use development and needs a leader who can convert that demand into a repeatable, well-run practice rather than a collection of individual projects.
What you'll be doing
Leading the MEP practice across mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection design, setting technical standards and holding the line on quality
Owning practice P&L: utilization, fee forecasting, resourcing and margin performance
Acting as engineer of record and senior technical authority on complex schemes, providing QA/QC oversight and stamping across multiple jurisdictions
Building and mentoring a distributed team of project engineers, designers and discipline leads, with clear development paths and succession
Driving business development: owner and architect relationships, proposals, fee negotiation, and repeat work from key accounts
Working with architectural and structural counterparts to deliver coordinated, constructible designs from concept through construction administration
Guiding the practice on energy modeling, decarbonization, electrification and code compliance as client expectations shift
What you'll bring
Professional Engineer (PE) license, with multi-state licensure or the ability to obtain it via comity; LEED AP, CEM, CxA or similar an advantage
Proven record of winning and delivering work you can point to clients you brought in and teams you built
Deep design command across HVAC systems, power distribution, lighting, plumbing and fire protection, with fluency in Revit/BIM workflows and current energy and building codes
Experience leading remote or multi-office teams, with the discipline that distributed delivery demands
What's on offer
Full remote flexibility with autonomy over how the practice is built
Direct line to firm leadership and a genuine seat at the table on strategy
Competitive base, performance bonus and [equity/ownership pathway]
Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage, 401(k) with match, generous PTO
Professional dues, licensure renewals and continuing education fully covered
